87. There's no reason for 89 or 91...

87 always. no reason to use anything higher. it would just be waste of money and product. but when i get my supercharger on one of these days i will have to use 91.

87. Higher octane is unnecessary on a N/A Accent/Tib/Elantra.

I use 91 in the tib all the time. I know, I know....people say it doesnt matter, but I never know when I want to use the nitrous and for only a few cents more...it doesnt really bother me to use the better stuff.

The trailblazer gets cheapo stuff though. *lol*

My Murano runs so much better on the premium, but I just can't justify $0.23/ga. extra, especially when I'm driving 28,000-30,000 miles annually. They suggest premium, but el cheapo is for me.

Unfortunately, we have 10% ethanol added by law, and my gas mileage has dropped at least 2-3 MPG since. I used to be able to find a few gas stations that hadn't added Ethanol, as Sam's Club gas became my best friend, but it's now a requirement for all stations. damn the government... ethanol is a friggin' joke. Spending $2.50/ga. of gas when it's tainted with ethanol that creates worse gas mileage and requires more frequent fillups. I'm convinced that you're essentially using the same gas to go from point A to point B, you're just burning ethanol along with it.

My car hates ethanol, and it's a 2009 model.

Sunoco 94 or Petro 91 depending on where I am at the time I need gas.
The SOHC gets the 87.
